A Very English Scandal

A Very English Scandal won for Costume Design, Director: Fiction and Editing: Fiction, while Killing Eve picked up awards for Original Music and Sound: Fiction. Patrick Melrose won the Production Design and Writer: Drama awards.

The awards celebrate the best behind-the-scenes television talent of the last 12 months. The awards ceremony was hosted by Stephen Mangan at The Brewery, London, with presenters including Greg Davies, Mel Giedroyc, Malachi Kirby, Bruce Oldfield and Michael Palin. 

Other winners included Daisy May Cooper and Charlie Cooper for the Writer: Comedy category for This Country, with the Breakthrough Talent category won this year by composer, producer and writer Akemnji Ndifornyen for Famalam. The Bafta Craft special award went to script supervisor Emma Thomas for her outstanding contribution to the industry. She was script supervisor on classic TV series including Goodnight Sweetheart, Birds of a Feather, Benidorm, Bad Education, Luther and The Bill.

The Director: Factual award went to Ben Anthony for Grenfell. Sound: Factual was won by Later Live…With Jools Holland. The Special, Visual & Graphic Effects award was won by Troy: Fall of a City, and the 2018 Winter Olympics ‘The Fearless are Here’ animation won the Titles & Graphic Identity category.

Perhaps the biggest winner of the night was the BBC, with its programmes picking up the majority of the awards. Charlotte Moore, Director of Content, said: “I’d like to congratulate all the winners of the Bafta Craft awards. It was fantastic to see those who worked on so many BBC shows recognised in this way. We’re proud to be able to work with some of the best talents in the industry behind the camera and their hard work makes a huge contribution to the BBC.”
